Charlie Cox will star as the Man Without Fear in Marvel's new "Daredevil" series for Netflix.
Best known for his work on HBO's period gangster drama "Boardwalk Empire" and the Neil Gaiman adaptation "Stardust," Cox will play blind attorney/costumed vigilante Matt Murdock, the superhero leading the latest charge of Marvel comic book characters heading to television.
The comic book powerhouse also is developing new, original live-action series centered on Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage for Netflix. Each series will have a minimum of 13 episodes, and will culminate with a special "The Defenders" miniseries event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.
Murdock debuted in comics with the April 1964 cover-dated "Daredevil" No. 1, by Stan Lee and Bill Everett. As a youngster, Matt is blinded in an accident by a radioactive substance that heightens his other senses to superhuman levels. After his father, boxer Battlin' Jack Murdock, is killed for refusing to throw a fight, the son takes up the fight for justice on two fronts: in the courtroom as an attorney, and on the streets as a vigilante.
The character has enjoyed vibrant creative periods under teams including Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev, and recently Waid and Chris Samnee (and previously Paolo Rivera).
Daredevil was previously brought to the screen in a little admired 2003 film starring Ben Affleck, who, of course, is tackling a new, high-profile superhero role, playing Batman in Zack Snyder's recently titled "Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice."
On Saturday, Marvel announced that Steven S. DeKnight, whose previous television credits include "Spartacus," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," will serve as show runner for the new "Daredevil" series. Drew Goddard, who wrote the first two episodes, will serve as executive producer while simultaneously working on Sony's upcoming "Spider-Man" spinoff, "The Sinister Six."
Due to arrive in 2015, "Daredevil" will primarily be filmed in New York.
Are you looking forward to the new Marvel shows? What do you think of Cox's casting? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

Claiming Jesus in a secular culture, plus Nabeel Qureshi chronicles his journey out of Islam, and a listener isn't attracted to the Christian girls he knows.
Featured musical artist: Unspoken
Show sponsor: Smart Girl's Guide to God, Guys, and the Galaxy
Comment on this week's show
[26:52] -
We're living in a world that is becoming decidedly less Christian. For many countries, this has been the norm for decades, even centuries. But for Christians in the United States, it's a bit of culture shock. Gone are the days where you could talk about God, Jesus or the Bible with general acceptance, let alone understanding. But what does that mean practically? How do we engage our non-Christian friends on the job, in the coffee shop — even in our own families? Here's some great insight from young adults who are making it happen.
[20:49] -
What's it like to question your entire faith and the traditions that have upheld it since before you can remember? Nabeel Qureshi knows. While a devout Muslim, his conversations with a friend started a quest that led him deeper into both Islam and Christianity, and ultimately straight to the heart of Jesus Christ. He tells his story in Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus and through his work with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. His love for his family and his people hasn't changed, but his love for the Gospel has changed everything.
[4:55] -
It's one thing when you're not attracted to a specific person, but what if you're not attracted to any of the girls around you? Counselor Glenn Lutjens gives some advice to our listener.

The Truth About J.A. Happ
Despite an improved pitching staff compared to last season, the Phillies have been on the lookout for arms that could bolster the starting rotation. There were rumors bringing Cliff Lee back in Phillies pinstripes, but they were ultimately silenced. Then there was Dan Haren and Roy Oswalt. Some of us have been clamoring for Brett Myers. Pedro Martinez is still unsigned, you know.
As you can see, the Phillies do have options if they're willing to pay the price and take the risk. The more conservative among us are banking on the return of J.A. Happ, currently rehabbing in the Minor Leagues. Happ, of course, was knighted the future of the Phillies' rotation after a breakout year in which he posted a 2.93 ERA in 166 innings of work. He was credited as a big help to the Phillies, who won their third straight division title. And rightly so.
Going into 2010, many wondered if he would be able to replicate his success from '09. His strikeout and walk rates were average at best and his ERA was suppressed by an unsustainable .270 BABIP and subsequent 85.2% strand rate. Among qualified starters, that was by far the highest strand rate, beating Matt Cain's 81.6% by a mile (the league average is 72%). Additionally, Happ did not have any special ability to induce ground balls. Taking that information into account, it is no surprise that his 4.37 SIERA was in direct conflict with his 2.93 ERA.
Happ, however, defied the odds in his first two starts of 2010 before landing on the disabled list. Despite striking out only five and walking eight in 10 and one-third innings, Happ did not allow a single earned run to cross home plate. Yeah, that's right: a 0.00 ERA.
Fast forward through his injury to his Minor League rehab starts, where he has struggled. In 34 and two-thirds innings of work, Happ struck out 31 and walked 19. The strikeouts are good; the walks are not. Additionally, Happ has allowed 44 hits and 25 earned runs (6.49 ERA). His performance merited the Phillies filing for an extension on Happ's rehabilitation so that they are able to retain a useful player until he shows marked improvement.
Many are simply attributing Happ's struggles to his injury, but that is simply not the case. Happ's walk rate of 4.9 per nine innings is high, but not substantially higher than his Minor League average of 3.6. He has also allowed a bunch of hits, but as we know, that is not something pitchers have a whole lot of control over. When his rehab stats are put side-by-side with his 2009 Major League stats, you are left scrambling for some sort of explanation. The easiest conclusion is that Happ must be struggling because he's still injured.
Todd Zolecki has this quote from GM Ruben Amaro:
"He's not quite the same pitcher as he was last year yet, but he's getting close."
He will never be the same pitcher he was last year. He is not a maven of control, he is not able to miss bats on a frequent basis, and he has no special batted ball abilities. He is simply mundane. Happ pitches like a 4.50 ERA pitcher and that is what should be expected. His 2009 was a complete and utter fluke.
When Happ returns, he will likely usurp the role of Kyle Kendrick. As they say, "six in one hand, half a dozen in the other." If the Phillies want to bolster the starting rotation, waiting for Happ is not the solution.

Microsoft Announces Star Wars-Themed Xbox 360
Posted: 03:16PM
Author: bp9801
Let's face it. Star Wars is perhaps one of the largest and most successful franchises to ever launch. There are the movies, the games, the action figures, posters, glassware, and just about everything you can think of. Now, there is another addition to that in the form of the game console. At Comic-Con today, Microsoft announced a Star Wars-themed Xbox 360 that will launch later this year. The Xbox 360 has the colors of everyones favorite droid, R2-D2, and the controller resembles C-3P0. The 360 looks a bit weird at first, since it is a slim model but painted to look like R2. Included in the bundle is a white Kinect sensor and Kinect: Star Wars. The console includes a 320GB hard drive and even some custom sounds, perhaps some of R2's beeps and whistles for different actions you perform. The whole thing will cost $449, and pre-orders start today with it shipping in the fall.

JR Marble Co Ltd have been established since 1983 we are third generation of stone masons being able to carry out all types of stonework, including marble, granite, slate, limestone etc. From initial site discussions through to completion including design advice, measuring, manufacturing (in our own factory) and fixing all to the highest quality.
We are specialist suppliers, fixers and restorers of Marble, Granite, Slate and Limestone for kitchen worktops, bathrooms, shelves, house names, picture plaques, fire surrounds, hearths, shop fronts, floors, entrances etc. Select from stock the stone you require used on your job. Carry out remedial and restoration work to buildings, floors, fireplaces, tables etc either in the factory if it can be brought to us or on site. It doesnt matter if you require supply only (to save you money) or supply and fix we will be pleased to assist you in any way we can.
All work is carried out by directly employed staff who are trained and skilled at their job, using only directly employed staff we can more easily control the quality and time taken to carry out each job.

Our workshop is equipped with modern machines and specially designed moulding wheels allow us to carry out work that other companys will not undertake producing any shape unlike some factorys that can only carry out straight and simple work.
There is little that cannot be achieved today with marble, granite, slate, limestone etc, using the modern sophisticated machinery that is available. Our belief is that we have to keep up with the times involving new machines, profiles and diamond moulding systems to be able to carry out work to the highest standard at competitive prices. We carry stock of most of the standard stone types and also some unusual types, which have been selected at quarry sources in Spain, Italy and Portugal; this, coupled with our wealth of experience and plant, enables us to produce first class finished goods at reasonable cost levels

Court says couple can sue for emotional distress
The Iowa Supreme Court says a couple from Ecuador may sue an immigration lawyer for emotional distress for giving them bad advice.
The advice caused the couple to be separated from children and grandchildren in Iowa for at least a decade.
The ruling Friday marks the first time an Iowa higher court allowed an attorney to be sued for emotional distress in a malpractice case.
The court says Klever Miranda and Nancy Campoverde may sue Des Moines attorney Michael Said for emotional damages from being separated long-term from their family.
In 2005 Said told the couple, who lived in the U.S. without documentation, they might become citizens if they returned to Ecuador and filed certain documents.
Once there they learned immigration rules prohibited them from returning for 10 years.

Kameez Tunic
Added May 17, 2010
by gedwoods
Quebec, Canada
This simple tunic was modeled after the Indian kameez, the overtunic that is part of the popular salwar kameez ensemble. I developed the design myself, after examining at close hand several examples of kameez. I thought about adding some embroidery around the neckline, as is popular for kameez, but decided the elegant simplicity of the silk called for a simpler neckline, and so I ended up topstitching in straight lines around the binding using the same thread as I used to make up the garment. It should be noted that this project is particularly easy for beginners as there is no shaping (darts) and the seams are very straightforward. Also, I provide detailed instructions that draw on my Technique called "Drafting the Easy-fitting OverGarment Block" which should allow just about anyone to put this together!
Material Notes
Silk, silk thread, binding tape made out of self fabric, a long "invisible" zipper. I actually bought the silk fabric used for this in an Indian "silk and saree" boutique in Vancouver.

Tofu Recipes
Tofu is amazingly versatile and adaptable. It absorbs the flavors of the ingredients it's paired with and works in a variety of cooking methods. It adapts to any flavor profile and works in a variety of cooking methods. Nutritionally, it supplies protein and heart-healthy fats. Plus, if you buy a variety containing calcium sulfate, you can also get a dose of calcium. You'll need to look carefully at the nutrition label to verify that the tofu you are buying is made with calcium sulfate. Nigari (magnesium chloride) is another common coagulating agent used to make tofu, but it has a lower calcium content—4 ounces of tofu made with nigari has about 200 milligrams of calcium compared to 600 milligrams found in 4 ounces of tofu made with calcium sulfate. Once opened, refrigerate tofu and use it within three to four days. When storing water-packed tofu, you'll need to place it in an airtight container and cover it with water; change the water daily to keep it fresh.

See these? These are my Tweezerman Point Tweezers. (Well, I mean clearly they're not MY Tweezerman Point Tweezers, because this is just a generic picture of a set of said tweezers. But you know what I mean.) Pretty lethal looking, aren't they? I mean, I can totally see why they wouldn't allow those bad boys into the cabin of an aircraft. Totally.
Here's the thing though: my eyebrows? They meet in the middle. Oh yes they do. Now, not a lot of people know that < / Michael Caine > (Or actually, wait: they kinda do now, don't they?) because I have been tweezing my brows religiously since I was a teenager. Before that, I used to beg my parents to do it for me. They were all, "What do you want for Christmas, Amber?" and I'd be like, "For my eyebrows not to meet above my nose any more, thanks Santa!"
This eyebrow tweezing is a routine that I have to go through every day in life. I tweeze my eyebrows last thing at night, and if I ever missed a night, by the time I woke up next morning I'd be looking like the missing link. I'm not even joking here. Tweezing is a bit of a drag, but it's one of those chores that I just can't afford to skip – and to illustrate how very serious I am about this, I have made my mother promise that if I'm ever hit by a bus or something and end up in a coma/incapacitated in some other way, that she will visit me in hospital every day and TWEEZE MY DAMN EYEBROWS ALREADY.
The tweezers are one of the items I'd take with me to a desert island, and like I said, I never miss a day – other than when I travel long haul. Because long haul flights tend to involve getting up very early and not getting to where you're going until very late. And tweezers are no longer allowed to accompany you into the cabin. Not even if you beg and grovel and promise not to use them to wrest the controls of the aircraft from its unwitting pilot.
Now, I understand why this is, and let me just say, I totally support the "No Tweezers in the Cabin" thing. I, after all, am the world's most nervous flyer, and Terry still has the bruises on his hands from our trip to the Canaries last April to prove it. So I'd much rather be
red hairy than dead, one of the victims of a terrifying mid-air scenario involving a crazed lunatic and a pair of pink tweezers. (Because yes, mine are pink. Obviously.) But it still sucks, and I'll tell you for why: because about halfway across the Atlantic next Monday, I will suddenly become aware of a nasty, prickly feeling around the general area of my eyebrows. This sensation is entirely imaginary. It's my brains way of saying, "HELLOOO! HANDS! Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, Hands! Forget something, ya think? Like, maybe something involving making The Face look human again? Or I will continue to make the eyebrows feel odd, and a little bit prickly: almost as if you can feel the fresh hairs starting to poke their way through the skin. I will do this until you're almost ready to rip them out yourselves, Hands, without even needing to resort to the tweezers. Just letting you know. OK, bye, gotta go freak Her out by suggesting that the noise she just heard from the engines may mean that we're about to fall from the sky in a fiery ball. Laters, Hands!"
This is why being without my tweezers is the
second third worst thing about flying for me. (No 2 is that kid that's always in the seat behind me, kicking like Jackie Chan.) And why my tweezers would be one of the things I'd take with me to that desert island – assuming that they let them on the plane, of course.

LAKE COUNTY -- Memories of days and nights at Konocti Harbor elicit sorrowful nostalgic smiles, stories of better days, rites of passage, cheers, applauding and fists pumping into the air in front of the amphitheater stage, great times with family and friends, professional athletes competing in golf tournaments, BMX bikes upside-down in the sky and brushes with stars who were sharing the same clean Lake County air as residents.
It's been closed for nearly four years, but nobody forgets -- including countless musicians who say it was their favorite place to perform.
Frank Beard of ZZ Top, said it was like playing in front of "God's backdrop."
Those days in the rear-view mirror may be part of the fresh new road ahead.
The legendary Konocti Harbor Resort & Spa (KHRS) is in escrow. Resort Equities, LLC filed a major use permit with Lake County to allow the proposed repair, renovation, expansion and re-opening of Konocti Harbor. There's a fully-executed sales agreement in place. The price has not yet been disclosed to the public.
"Even though it's in the infancy stage, of the due diligence process, this is a wildly exciting project proposal" longtime CEO of KHRS, Greg Bennett said.
"Resort Equities is a highly successful and deeply respected industry organization, but maybe more importantly, they are great people, who have the best interest of Konocti Harbor and Lake County, at heart."
The resort was purchased in 1959 and developed, originally, by the Local 38 Plumbers and Pipefitters Union in San Francisco, to provide summer vacation opportunities for members and their families. The Resort operated as a seasonal summer-only resort until Bennett's arrival in 1990. Bennett's vision and expertise brought about a metamorphosis for the Resort. He implemented a concert program immediately, turning a small restaurant into what ultimately became a 1,000-seat showroom, and a dusty, overgrown softball field into a world-class musical amphitheater, while becoming one of the best concert venues in the country and featuring some of the biggest names in music including Aerosmith, Kenny Chesney, KISS, Nickelback, Robert Plant, Joan Jett, Kid Rock, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Ray Charles and Chrissie Hynde, to name only a few.
The place blossomed with the advent of numerous special events and grew in popularity to become one of the favorite lakefront destination resorts on the West Coast. Bennett created many events that lasted a decade or more, including the Celebrity Golf Shootout, featuring professional athletes such as Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, while featuring dozens of members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, playing golf and raising money for Lake County schools' sports programs.
Additional events, such as XS Weekend Extreme Sports events, Takin' it to the Streets Motorcycle Road Rallies and the New Year's Eve Extravaganza, were anxiously awaited by residents and tourists from all over the world on an annual basis.
Resort Equities, LLC plans to modify the use plan from that of lodging-only to a combination of lodging and vacation property offerings that include timeshare and other shared-ownership options.
The group hopes to replace a number of obsolete buildings and substantially renovate all the others, along with re-establishing the popular concert programs in both the outdoor amphitheater and indoor dinner theater venues.
Rebuilding the marina and dock facilities that were destroyed in a recent storm with an expanded number of boat slips is also the vision of Resort Equities, LLC.
An uninterrupted pedestrian promenade along the water's edge from one end of the property to the other for more than half a mile will highlight the beauty and scenic access to Clear Lake.
Other plans include a small waterside bar and grill at the northern terminus of the promenade, improving the functionality of the clubhouse with a port cochere and arrival court as well as creating new indoor/outdoor public spaces at the lakeside, expanding the number of concert parking spaces located onsite, and concentrating them in closer proximity to the amphitheater, relocating the boat yard building for repair and storage of watercraft away from the shoreline to a less strategic location on the property, improving the amphitheater facility with structural repairs where needed, new concession stands and landscaping, bringing the existing resort buildings into compliance with current ADA, life safety, seismic resistance and energy conservation codes, upgrading the landscaping, fountains, entrance gates and other site improvements (driveways, sidewalks, curbs, retaining walls, lighting and signage) to contemporary standards and creating a small vineyard and wine tasting pavilion on the site of an existing parking lot.
According to the plans, some new units will be erected and some old ones will come down, resulting in a total of 321 units as opposed to the existing 252.
The services of a world-renowned architectural and planning firm, Hart Howerton, were employed to help articulate a vision of what Konocti Resort could be.
Retired county official Kelly Cox said Wednesday, "This is very exciting and they have great plans. If they can make it a reality, it will be very positive for Lake County."
There are more than nine million people living within a three-hour drive of Konocti Harbor. Resort Equities, LLC believes the resort has potential to operate successfully, on a year-round basis.

Why did you become vegan?
I chose this diet for health and somewhat superficial reasons (always had bad skin). More so health! I had been introduced to veganism a number of times in my life, but being a competitor I was under the percepetion I needed the bodybuilder staples of eggs and chicken to build muscle when I needed to and lose fat when I neededed to. How could I give them up? After taking a test I found out I was off the charts intolerant to eggs. I immediately gave them up and after doing some research, I soon decided to give up meat as well. I didn't really have much dairy in my diet before as I always suspected I was lactose intolerant. I still was having fish here or there, mainly when I went out for sushi or when I went out with friends or a date and didn't want to seem too uptight. But it was when I met Robert, other vegans, and read "The China Study" when I decided to make the full commitment. Knowing I could be social, have muscles, enjoy greater health and prevent diseases that run rapid in my family is truly what sealed the deal.
When and why did you become interested in fitness?
Lucky for me I've always had an affinity for exercising. When I was a little girl, still in the single digits, I would watch the leg warming unitard fitness ladies on "Body Electric" and the beach workouts of "Body Shaping" and "Kiana's Flex Appeal." In 8th grade I was chosen to be part of a program where we weight trained before school called "Bigger, Faster, Stronger." I never missed one workout and therefore experienced great improvement. In high school I played field hockey and lacrosse and in order to perform better my father felt I should join the gym. Boy was he right! I could hit that ball so much harder and I loved the new lines in my body! So at 15, my dad gave me my first gym membership and I've been hooked ever since!
How would you describe your nutrition program?
As far as specifics it really depends on the season and whether I am preparing for a competition. In general, I try to follow a whole food, natural diet plan. I eat very minimal processed foods and stick to home cooking mostly. I find I eat with the season with always the inclusion of lots of greens. I eat smaller portions every few hours or when my body tells me I need to. If I ever go too long without eating I always end up sabotaging my diet and eat way too much. Planning is key to the success of my nutrition program. Some of my staples include quinoa, chick peas, berries, greens, and sweet potatoes.
How would you describe your training program?
This too depends if I'm getting ready for a competition or not. I still like to keep my cardio up year round as running is when I do my most creative thinking and I sit a lot at work, plus I really like to eat! Just like nutrition, I believe variety is key. I like to lift full body 3x a week every other day to ensure my muscles get adequate rest. The types of exercises and volume are tailored to whatever my goal is at the time. I do some sort of cardio, mainly running on days I don't lift with some additional leg work which is only bodyweight or very light weight high rep work to get the muscles traditional lifting doesn't. I also like doing yoga or pilates as I feel they really lengthen and streamline the body.
What kind of supplements do you use if any, and why?
Hemp, Flaxseed, Vega, & Maca seem to be my mainstays although if I'm using Vega regularly I don't really have to consume the other three. I use them for the fatty acid profile, the extra easily digestible protein, the amino acids, and the vitamins and minerals.
What are some common misconceptions about veganism?
The obvious one, vegans are stick figures. Vegans only eat dirt. It's expensive. All of which are not true.
What do you think the most important aspect of fitness is?
The character building it gives you. The happiness it gives you. The discipline it instills in you.
What do you like best about being vegan?
Knowing that I can control my own destiny and being a vegan will secure me the best life possible. Plus all the great people I meet. A lot of them are for saving the earth and the animals, and with this comes caring people. Plus, I look so much better!
What do you like best about being fit?
I can perform better in all aspects of life because it gives me confidence.
What are your strengths as an athlete?
Wow, good question! In my sport where drug use is so prevalent, I have made a commitment to abstain from it and because of this I bring a more natural look and therefore can resonate with mainstream and have a positive influence because my physique is believable and achievable.
What advice do you have for vegan athletes who are just starting out?
Just do it! Sorry, is that considered plagiarism? My best advice would be to read as much as you can on it, that way it will motivate you more to stick to it. Make friends with vegans whether it's via internet or through a meet-up group and don't worry if you mess up here or there on your way to becoming 100% vegan.. Some people can go cold turkey but others like myself needed a little tweaking here or there. Also you may want to talk to a nutritionist that specializes in vegan diets. A lot of people quit on it too soon because they aren't eating the right way. Oh, and also give it time. You can't expect to see and feel changes right away.
What motivates you to continue to be a successful vegan athlete?
I read a lot and I'm fortunate enough to have successful vegan athletes in my life to support and motivate me. I feel so strongly that being a vegan can prevent so many terrible diseases, if I can inspire someone to eat this way through my athletic accomplishments I would be thrilled and know I am doing my service to the community. It's helped give me meaning to my life.
How has the website www.veganbodybuilding.com helped or inspired you?
I would have to say it's the President who has inspired me. The love and commitment he has for protecting animals is incredible, and deeply moving. It's so rare to meet such a giving individual. He's also introduced me to a lot of other new vegan friends and business mentors. AND have you seen this guy's pipes!? All plant protein baby!
Is there anything else you would like to add about your vegan fitness lifestyle?
I'm just so happy, and feel more spiritually connected since adopting a whole foods, plant based diet. I believe whole heartedly it's the right diet to follow for optimal nutrition and disease prevention. It also makes a girl's skin look fierce! :)

The first dual-core phone just arrived on our doorstep from Korea and U.S. customers will be able to purchase their very own next month. If you are looking to upgrade your current Android phone (or buy your first) in the next couple of months, check the specs and make sure it has a dual-core CPU as the benefits far outweigh anything a single-core phone has to offer.
However, if you just purchased a new Android phone or your carrier contract doesn't expire for awhile, then you might want to sit tight and wait on the next generation of super chips. Quad-core processors first appeared in desktop PCs back in 2006 and have long been talked about coming to mobile devices, but 2011 is finally the year that you will find one in your phone.
Sony Computer Entertainment is the first company that I know of to announce availability of a quad-core mobile device. Their successor to the PSP, codenamed Next Generation Portable (NGP), will feature a quad-core Cortex-A9 processor with PowerVR SGX543MP4+ GPU. We don't know which company will actually provide this CPU to Sony, but you can bet that others will also arrive later this year.
Virtually everyone is working on a quad-core CPU (Qualcomm, Samsung, Texas Instruments), but when you look at the Android landscape for 2011 the two semiconductor companies that are most likely to produce one are Freescale and NVIDIA.
Freescale just announced their i.MX 6Quad system-on-a-chip (SoC) which features four Cortex-A9 cores running at 1.2 GHz and an unknown GPU that can process 200 million triangles per second. They say it should be available this year, but we do not know of any handset makers adopting it yet. Freescale is not really a name we know that well, but they currently power many eReaders and navigation systems (like Amazon Kindle, Ford SYNC, HP Photosmart eStation).
A more likely company to deliver the first quad-core CPU that will show up in an Android phone is NVIDIA. Their Tegra 2 processor was the first dual-core CPU and the company has been preaching about the velocity at which they plan to innovate. We know from leaked company slides that Tegra 3 will feature four Cortex-A9 cores running at 1.5 GHz with a GeForce GPU that can deliver 3x the graphics performance of Tegra 2.
Tegra 3 supposedly started sampling in Q4 2010 and is rumored to be announced next month at Mobile World Congress. If NVIDIA reveals Tegra 3 in a couple of weeks, then surely they are already shopping it around to their customers and it could arrive in products by the end of the year.
So yeah. Quad-core Android phones by Christmas. Any takers?

After council approved the plan for a nearly 800,000 square-foot redevelopment at Stadium Shopping Centre, neighbours who fought it expressed hope it doesn't turn out as bad as feared.
Ald. Dale Hodges found no support for his bids Tuesday to slash the northwest project's maximum tower height to six storeys from 14, or otherwise alter it based on University Heights community protests.
Council did, however, reaffirm its assurances any traffic or transit upgrades in the new area plan for the 16th Avenue N.W. plaza will be in place by the time the aging strip mall and parking lot gets its major facelift of apartments, office space, a hotel and more retail, complete with underground parking.
Western Securities, the project developer, has produced no drawings or exact plans for the community to consider, but will begin neighbourhood workshops on the master plan in September, project director Mike Brescia said.
Until that happens, there's little to quell the concerns about traffic, said Mili Rowse, who has lived in University Heights since 1979.
"Another concern, perhaps, was the hotel, but maybe we can live with it," Rowse said.
"I don't know; we just don't have enough information, really, about how to make a decision without getting emotional about things."
Tuesday's 14-1 council vote on the redevelopment plan followed a daylong hearing last week, which drew dozens of protests from homeowners in University Heights, whose houses and apartment complexes boast a mix of academics, students and medical professionals. An unusually high number of residents walk to work at either Foothills Hospital on one side of the neighbourhood, or University of Calgary on the other.
This will be the last time this plan comes before council. The master plan will be sorted out between city planners and Western Securities, with mandatory consultation with neighbours. Brescia said residents shouldn't be as concerned with the final product.
"A lot of it is going to get addressed as we start showing things," he said.
The Stadium plaza makeover — which most residents said was long overdue — should take five to 10 years to be completed, Western Securities predicts.
It's being touted as a "transit-oriented development" like the towers rising at Brentwood LRT, although Stadium plaza is a 15-minute walk from the train station. A "bus rapid transit" route is proposed for 16th Avenue, which borders the project, but the city has no budget or timeline for that yet.
"If the ability exists to move people through an increased investment in transit, then I think this site has a good chance of working," said Peter Khu, president of the University Heights Community Association.

US and Israeli leaders locked in tension as threats loom
US President Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu will have to bury past hostilities if the Israeli prime minister is re-elected to jointly face looming threats such as Iran, analysts say.
The two men have never warmed to each other, and ties have remained frosty. Obama pointedly failed to make time to meet the Israeli leader on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September.
Netanyahu also made little secret of the fact that he was rooting for Obama's Republican rival, Mitt Romney, in November's US presidential election.
Yet another spat made public headlines this week when Netanyahu reacted angrily to comments attributed to Obama that "Israel doesn't know what its own best interests are."
"I think everyone knows that the citizens of Israel are the only ones who can decide who will faithfully represent the vital interests of the state," Netanyahu snapped back.
Analysts say, however, that such posturing is part of Netanyahu's campaign to portray himself domestically as a strong leader who can stand up for Israel, even against its closest ally the United States, ahead of Tuesday's elections.
But they also argue that, ironically, US-Israeli ties at an institutional level may never have been stronger.
"It's quite extraordinary that given the disparity of roles, obligations and world views, that there isn't more that divides the US and Israel," said Aaron David Miller, a vice president and distinguished scholar at the Wilson Center.
"The anomaly of the relationship is that while on the one hand you have the most dysfunctional relationship between an Israeli prime minister and an American president that I've seen, the relationship itself… the American public support, the military cooperation, security assistance… intel sharing, all of the aspects of this relationship are doing quite well," he told AFP.
Daniel Kurtzer, former US ambassador to Israel and Middle East expert at Princeton University, agreed, saying he believed that "2012 was a year of repairing the personal relationship," highlighting "some real accomplishments."
He pointed to the Iron Dome technology deployed during the November Gaza crisis to shoot down Hamas rockets aimed at southern Israel, and the staunch US opposition to the Palestinian bid for UN recognition as an observer state.
Even Netanyahu's angry appearance at the United Nations wielding a cartoon picture of a bomb to urge America to set red lines over Iran's suspect nuclear program was seen as little more than elaborate grandstanding by analysts. Back home, it fed his desired image as tough on national security.
Iran is set to be one of the top foreign policy challenges in 2013, with Tehran ignoring international calls to halt its production of enriched uranium.
Israelis remain deeply fearful of a nuclear-armed Iran, which has repeatedly denied Israel's right to exist.
Obama's repeated insistence last year, therefore, that he did not bluff, that all options remained on the table if Iran obtains a nuclear bomb sent strong signals to Israel.
"That was a clearer annunciation of American policy on the issue than existed before. I think that notably changed the calculations of the Israelis," said Tamara Cofman Wittes, director of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution.
The threat of unilateral action by Israel against suspected Iranian nuclear sites had receded somewhat in the past 12 months, thanks to both Obama's "crystal clear" stand and toughened sanctions, Wittes told AFP.
Obama's choice for his new national security team, with Senator John Kerry tapped to take over as secretary of state and retired senator Chuck Hagel nominated to lead the Pentagon, should also give both Israel and Iran pause.
The new team "is an Iran cabinet, assembled to decide and act on war or peace over the nuclear file," writes analyst Hussein Ibish, a senior fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine, on his blog, arguing that "this group wants to make a deal."
"Take the deal, or face the consequences of an American action led by a group perfectly positioned ideologically and politically to lead their country, with credibility, into an exceptionally dangerous and risky conflict."
But there is deeper pessimism on whether the two leaders could come together to revive the Middle East peace process, especially given US frustration at the relentless pace of settlement building, and a divided Palestinian people.
"There are things happening every day on the ground that foreclose possibilities that make a two-state solution even harder, and some would argue make it increasingly impossible," Wittes said.
Miller, who has worked as an advisor to six secretaries of state, has said he is convinced Obama wants to try again, and Kerry has long worked to bring the two sides together and is adept at steering difficult negotiations.
Much will depend on how much room for maneuver Netanyahu has after the polls, and the make-up of any eventual coalition, with many radical right-wingers in his Likud party challenging the goal of a two-state solution.

CHICAGO – A first-of-its-kind headquarters has opened in Chicago for 70 federal agents, police and prosecutors to work side-by-side, year-round to fight drug traffickers — a set-up meant to end inter-agency rivalry and miscommunication that can hamper investigations.
The recent, fanfare-free opening of the Chicago Strike Force building comes as Mexican cartels now supply over 90 percent of the narcotics in Chicago, and as street gangs vying for turf to sell those drugs kill each other and bystanders caught in the crossfire.
Inter-agency and -department cooperation is hardly a novel concept, but typically takes the form of occasional meetings or temporary joint task forces on specific investigations, said Jack Riley, the head of Chicago's DEA office.
"But you can't talk to your counterparts in once-a-week meetings — you have to talk as things are happening," said Riley, who took the lead in pushing for the facility. "When we get information here, it's not put in a pile and forgotten. It's acted on, now."
Riley gave The Associated Press an exclusive tour of the three-story brick building. Citing security, he asked the AP not to reveal its exact location.
The staff includes city and suburban police, as well as agents from the DEA, FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the IRS and a half-dozen other agencies. In another rarity, U.S. and state prosecutors also work alongside one another. Riley declined to reveal its budget.
It'll take time to see if the headquarters makes anti-trafficking efforts in Chicago more efficient, said Fred Burton, a security analyst for the global intelligence firm Stratfor.
"It sounds great on paper," he said. "But getting federal agencies to act in unison can be like herding cats."
Over the years, competition has led to situations where agencies end up unknowingly targeting the same traffickers, creating the risk that they could inadvertently foil each other's investigations, Riley said.
Thus, the headquarters was designed to foster camaraderie. Employees' desks all sit in a warehouse-sized room with no dividers or signs identifying who belongs to what agency. Response teams are comprised of members from each agency.
A major focus of their investigations will be the point of contact between major traffickers and local gangs, who serve as street-level salesmen. That's when traffickers are especially vulnerable, Reilly says, because they meet at unfamiliar places or use phones that can be wiretapped.
The ultimate goal is to arrest suspects, squeeze them to cooperate and then move along the cartel's chain of command to indict everyone from the street dealer to the kingpins in Mexico. They hope to replicate investigations like one that led to the 2009 indictment of key leaders of the Sinaloa cartel and the extradition of Sinaloa lieutenant Vicente Zambada, who'll stand trial in Chicago this year.
Beat officers should also benefit from the new headquarters, Riley said. A single office with a range of experts on everything from which gang controls what block to cartel structures in Mexico should help officers in the field make sense of anything suspicious, he said.
"They can call and say, 'Hey, I saw this guy who I think is a gang member hand a bag to this other guy. Does it mean anything? "' he said. "Before, there really wasn't a good place to call. There is now."

Rated 5 out of 5 by SimpleBeauty from SIMPLY GORGEOUS I've been seeing this dress for sometime and haven't paid much attention to it until I went into my local bebe store and tried it... LOVE IT! The fabric is super soft and light and curve hugging. It is not forgiving though, it will show your tummy if you have one as the fabric from the waist down is thin. The draped front gives it the class and the split gives it a sexy edge. Got the S, fits true to size (34.27.42 for ref) great purchase, happy I got it!

Rated 4 out of 5 by sbrya28 from LOVELY COLOR AND STYLE! I debated on this dress before finally caving in and purchasing it. I had originally seen this in the black and green, and thought it a bit too dressy for a maxi. So I saw it in the Magenta color in store. The color itself is absolutely gorgeous! I tried it on, and overall it is a really nice dress. The side slit is so sexy, the material is light but not sheer, and I love the neck and how it doesn't show too much cleavage. What I don't like is the length; I wish this would come in a Petite length. And it is very form fitting, so you definitely have to be careful with what undergarments you wear underneath, because they will show. The store associates said that this can be worn as a casual look; I wasn't feeling that, because of the length and how would I wear it with mid-height wedge heels. But after I thought about it, I said that this dress is just too great to pass up. So it will be getting hemmed! Hahaha

Rated 5 out of 5 by cherieb from Perfect fit! This dress is absolutely stunning. It's simple, yet glamorous, sexy and classy all rolled out in one. The fit is perfect and it even hides any flaws. I'm only about 5'3" and the dress is the a perfect length for me. The slit is just right as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CrisG from Perfect Dress - Perfect Fit This dress has an amazing cut. It fits snug where it's suppose to and drapes perfectly where it should. I LOVE this dress! I tried on almost every dress in the Bebe and settled for a short dress with leather strips on it, it looked nice but it wasn't exactly what I had in mind for my mom's 76th Birthday Party. I continued looking on line and saw this one. I tried it on and instantly knew that this was THE dress. I returned the other dress and I have no regrets. This is a dress that I can have for years and pull out for many occasions and it will still be perfect. Can't say how much I love this dress and I felt so attractive in it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kiki10 from Surplice Sleeveless Maxi Dress ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS DRESS!!! I bought the green dress and usually wear a large in most of bebe's products but the jersey material allowed the small to fit my body like a glove just like their Midi skirts do. It shows off every sexy curve and gives your body a nice silhouette. The split adds a more sexy appeal to the dress but still classy. I wish all clothes were made of this jersey or the midi stretch material. bebe...make this dress in multiple colors...purrrty pleeez with a cherry on top! Did I mention that I freakin' LOVE THIS DRESS?!?!? I can't wait to wear it when old man winter decides to go and hibernate for a while. ;)

As classes resume for a new semester, NPR's "Morning Edition" notes that bottled water will no longer be for sale on the UVM campus, the largest public university in the country to take the stand against environmental waste. Retrofitted stations for students to refill reusable bottles with tap water are now readily available. Recent graduate Mikayla McDonald, who helped launch the campaign for the ban, tells NPR, "Bottled water is a symbol of our culture's obsession with commodifying things that should be public trust resources."

Spectra Energy (NYSE:SE) owns and operates a portfolio of complementary natural gas energy assets and infrastructure.[1] Spectra natural gas operations include gathering and processing, transmission and storage, and distribution.[2] It segments are based on geographic region and include: the United States Transmission, Distribution, Western Canada Transmission & Processing, and Field Services.[3] Spectra receives approximately 80% of cash flows from fees, but approximately 20% of the Company's cash flows are directly impacted natural gas prices. As a result, low natural gas prices have significantly impacted earnings and its ability to finance future projects.[4]
As one of the largest North American companies engaging in natural gas gathering and processing, transportation and storage, and distribution, Spectra's growth can be attributed to increased processing of natural gas reserves in North America, including unconventional shale gas.[5] As more North American gas reserves become economically viable to develop, Spectra benefits from higher volumes of transported gas. Spectra reported net income $1.04 billion on $4.95 billion in revenues in 2010, compared net income of $848 million on $4.55 billion in revenues in 2009.[6]
In 2009, SE earned a total of $4.6 billion in total revenues. This was a decline from its 2008 total revenues of $5.1 billion in 2008. This in turn had a negative impact on SE's net income. Between 2008 and 2009, SE's net income declined from $1.13 billion in 2008 to $923 million in 2009.[7]
For Infrastructure companies like Spectra, a large portion of their revenues come from transportation, processing, and distribution fees.[8] As a result, Spectra like less exposed to short-term changes in natural gas prices and more exposed to the long-term demand for natural gas, which is driven by demand for natural gas-fired electric generation. Spectra's largest markets by revenue - the northeastern and the southeastern United States, the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia and Ontario - are projected to have higher-than-average annual growth rates in natural gas demand, which would benefit Spectra.[9] The projected rise in natural gas demand in these areas can be partially attributed increased economic activity as well as a push to use more environmentally friendly energy sources than coal. As a result, revenues from operations in these areas have grown, despite a relatively weak natural gas prices.[10]
While natural gas supplies traditionally came from the Gulf Coast region, supplies from the Rockies, Mid-Continent, Appalachia, Texas and Louisiana are on the rise. This supply shift is occurring as a result of improved drilling technology and increased exploration for unconventional sources of natural gas in North America.[11] As the demand for natural gas derived energy rises, production from shale or other unconventional sources has the potential of increasing.[12] While new supplies of natural gas partially mitigate resource depletion risks for pipeline operators, Spectra and its competitors have had to quickly change their transportation infrastrucutre to adapt to new sources of natural gas.[13] One of Spectra's key long-term growth strategies is to position its business to take advantage of shale gas sources.[14] As a result, the Company expects to devote a large amount of its capital and investment expenditures to the development of pipelines and processing facilities in these areas.[15]
Companies engaging in the gathering and processing of natural gas and in marketing and transporting natural gas and NGLs rely heavily on their ability to complete contracts with producers. As unconventional gas discoveries have grown and natural gas becomes a more economically viable energy source, Spectra has the potential of facing heightened competition from traditional infrastructure companies, but also from oil majors and other companies looking to enter the industry.[16]
Independent Infrastructure Companies Include:[17]
Oil Majors Include:[18]
Other Competitors Include:[19]

The Newton High School girls' basketball team got clutched and chucked and about everything but bit and scratched by the Bishop Carroll Golden Eagles, holding on for a 46-31 win Thursday in the quarterfinals of the 37th Newton Invitational at Ravenscroft Gym. The game was Newton's most physical since Kearney (Neb.) in the finals of the Hays City Shootout. "A lot of kids stepped up today and elevated their game," Newton coach Randy Jordan said. "Kelsi (Langley) got the rim. It put a lot of pressure on their defense. ... We shot the ball really well. That's Kelsi's best game of her career. She took a beating tonight, but she stepped up and played like a senior. There was a stretch where she took over the game." "I don't know what happens, but I get hit a lot," Langley said. "It's still a lot of fun. We talked in the huddle about getting it all together. ... We played really well as a team." Newton was 18 of 28 shooting, four of 10 from 3-point range. Carroll was 12 of 39 shooting, four of 19 in the fourth quarter. Carroll was two of 10 from 3-point range. "We took really good shots tonight," Jordan said. "I can only remember one off-balance shot. The rest of the shots we took were clean looks. We didn't force shots." Taylor Stahly scored 15 points to lead the 9-1 Railers. Kelsi Langley added 14 points. Abbie Lehman scored nine points with seven blocked shots. "We did a really good job of running our offense under pressure," Stahly said. "It was really nice to just vacate to the corner, and then my teammates did the rest. Nobody has tried to press us since Kearney. They did a really nice job. We had to work together as a team to break it." "Kelsi did a great job of getting to the rim," Jordan said. "We talked about in time outs, getting to the rim because of their pressure. There were so many of them trying to guard Abbie, it gave Kelsi a chance to do some good things. That's the thing about Abbie. It takes a lot of people to guard her." Newton was without starting forward Emily Hiebert because of illness. "It was pretty tough," Stahly said. "She's a natural leader. She picks everybody up. It's helpful to have her out there. We played through it." "I had to handle the ball a lot more without Emily," Langley said. "That helped (point guard) Jacque (Anderson) a lot. I hope we can get Emily back tomorrow. If not, we'll have to step up again." Carroll, 6-4, was led by Kayla Demel and Hannah Schauf with seven points each. It was the fifth straight game without a double-digit scorer against the Newton defense. Newton jumped out 7-2 in the first three minutes of play. Carroll came back with three of four free throws. Railer turnovers allowed Carroll to get within one by the end of the quarter, 13-12. Carroll opened the second quarter with the first four points. Newton came back with an 11-1 run to end the half and lead 24-17. Lehman capped the run with a layup with 30 seconds left in the half. Carroll missed a shot at the buzzer. Newton tried to slow the tempo down in the third quarter to bring Carroll out of its zone. The Railers outscored Carroll 8-2 to open the quarter. After a xxx Demel three-point play, Newton ended the period on a 5-0 run to lead 37-22 at the end of the quarter. Carroll missed its first six shots of the third quarter with Lehman blocking two. Newton turned the ball over twice in its first two possessions. Newton held Carroll scoreless for the first 4:45 of the fourth quarter. The Railers led by as many as 20. Carroll got back within 15 late. Newton, 9-1, takes on Bishop Miege at 8:15 p.m. today in the semifinals. "I think we match up better with them than we do Carroll size-wise," Jordan said. "They are really good. It's going to be a tough game. We're going to have to keep them off the free throw line. We're going to have to guard the perimeter. We just have to play with a lot of passion and intensity. We have to execute."

We are very excited to add yet another great BBQ Sauce from the great state of California to the BBQ Pro Shop. Rooftop BBQ Competition Style Sauce is now available at a special price of $7.49 for a 20 Oz bottle of sauce. It is imported all the way from California and contains All Natural ingredients. It adds yet another HFCS Free BBQ Sauce to our line up. As a way to get people even more excited we were given permission by Andy Allen to print their recipe for Tri-Tip. When properly smoked and then grilled, it is every bit as good as a fine filet with a ton of flavor!
We would suggest either the Oakridge BBQ Santa Maria Rub or The Rub Co. Santa Maria as a rub for this if you want to mix things up a little bit! We hope to have the Rooftop BBQ Rubs in the BBQ Pro Shop very soon!
Rooftop Tri- Tip
To make the Tri-tip Marinade you'll need
(Per tri-tip)
1/4 cup Oakridge BBQ Santa Maria Rub or The Rub Co. Santa Maria
1/4 cup water
1/4 olive oil
2 teaspoons of white wine vinegar
Mix well (yes its that simple)
To cook the tri-tip you'll need
A good cut of tri-tip
Smoker or grill (if smoker is unavailable)
A good temp probe check out the CDN DSP-1 Dual Sensing Probe Thermometer
How to cook
- Take out your tri-tip out and trim most of the fat cap off (some places remove this before buying).
- Add your tri-tip and marinade to a zip lock bag and let it rest in your refrigerator for 2 hours.
- When cooking on a smoker find a good quality rich wood like hickory, pecan or the california favorite red oak. Check out Fruita wood chunks to get the best quality wood.
- Get your smoker or grill(with one side of burners lit) up to about 240-255 degrees and put your tri-tip on over indirect heat.
- Cook for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temp hits 130.
- At this point remove your tri tip and place over high heat on a grill (this called reverse searing, its the best way to do a tri-tip).
- Sear all sides of the tri-tip until the internal temp hits 140-145.
- Take off and let rest 10 min before cutting against the grain.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he didn't try to start a feud with Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
Christie said on his monthly call-in show Wednesday that he was simply answering a question last week about his views on a National Security Agency program before Paul criticized him.
On his TownSquare Media show Christie said "it was never about Sen. Paul until Sen. Paul tried to make it about me."
Christie was asked if he would have a beer and talk things through with the senator, who like Christie is seen as a possible presidential candidate in 2016.
Christie says he's too busy for that to be a priority. But that if he's in Washington, he'll "look him up."
Paul criticized Christie as having a "gimme, gimme, gimme" attitude about disaster relief after Christie chided libertarians like Paul over opposition to NSA surveillance.

RIPLEY - EMS Director Steve McClure made his monthly report at a recent meeting of the Jackson County Commission.
The EMS director reported 376 calls this month. McClure described it as the fourth busiest month of the year. He also added that there are those who abuse the system.
Said McClure, "People who don't have money will call an ambulance. If they don't have a doctor they call us. They know when we take them they are going to see a doctor. People also think that if they go to the emergency room in an ambulance they will get seen quicker and that's not right."
McClure added that some of the calls made were not even emergency related.
"We actually had someone call us to their house to fluff their pillow," said the director, "When we arrived the patient said 'I'm really not all that sick, but since you're here can you fluff my pillows?' On another call we went to a house and there were eight cars in the driveway. When we get ready to get grandma, she gets up and walks to the ambulance. These calls take the ambulances way from people who really need them. But we can't prioritize. If we get called, we have to take that call. We have no other choice."
According to McClure, the average age of callers in Ravenswood is 67.8 years. The average age in Ripley is 58.1.
McClure reported that Pam Miller had retired. She was hired in 1999 and retired on October 29 with full service.
You don't see that a lot in EMS. The problem with EMS is when you retire from EMS or fire service you're beat up. To give you an example; the average professional, paid firefighter lives about 8 years after he retires," said McClure, "I applaud the county for having the foresight, and that was before I got here, to get involved in the EMS retirement system."
He continued, "That allowed Pam with her service and age to retire at a more substantially younger age. There are a lot of counties that don't even participate in that retirement system. With most of our younger folks are they're going to be able to retire at age 50, because they will have enough time and service to make that magic number. It speaks well of the service that somebody retired from here."
He went on to say that the average that anyone spends in West Virginia working as an EMS is seven years.
"The turn around and the turnover in EMS is terrible. It's even worse paramedic -wise because paramedics get better jobs or get fed up or they are just burned out is. This is the reason that I said not many people can say that they retired from the EMS field."
EMS activities:
• Classes were held for courthouse employees in CPR. Sixteen individuals attended the class.
• The new ambulance is in service with no major problems.
• A unit needing a remount is in Indianan and is getting worked on. The vehicle is supposed to be ready in 60 days.
